Just to add my thoughts. There is no rock bottom and you can keeping going lower. Often our emotion response independent of environmental effects. Feelings of self-hate just push you further from progress. Even in cases where action is taken from self-hate (eg exercise), it is unsustainable. Dealing with self-image issues for my whole life (I cant recognise myself in the mirror) "fixing the problem" doesn't change how you see things.
